Yes. You might even have gone without any diagnosis at all if you were high-functioning or your parents were particularly determined not to have you labeled with anything. Before the identification of autism as a syndrome, many autistic children were labeled "retarded"; those who couldn't be labeled that way were often said to be "lazy" "immature", or "spoiled". Others were just too quiet to cause much concern to overburdened teachers, or intelligent enough not to have problems with grades. Yet others were thought to have mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or Bipolar disorder. As autism becomes more well-known, adult diagnosis is increasing.

What are tips for parents with autistic children?
Listen to autistic people - even those who are mildly effected know more about what it is to be autistic than a neurotypical parent. Also remember that how someone is affected by autism and the severity in which they are affected varies throughout their lives so it may well be the 'passable' autistic adult was once severely effected when they were children. Your child will also be an adult at some point, adults who have already been through this are your greatest allies. Do not listen to Autism Speaks - this organisation does not speak for autistic people and are known to be openly prejudice against autistic people, they use harmful rhetoric about autistic people to increase their profits which in turn causes a lot more ignorance and prejudice towards autism. Autism Speaks are considered a hate group by most autistic people and autism allies.

Obviously having a child as a minor forces you to take on many adult responsibilities, however the mere act of having a child does not necessarily make you an adult. Unless you decide to become legally emancipated from your parents (in which case you will be considered an adult) you will not be an adult until you turn 18, which doesnt sound that far away for you.
